How to make glowing signs in Minecraft pe

Want to know where the glow squids are in Minecraft? It’s one of the newer Minecraft mobs that arrived in the Minecraft 1.17 update and is a variant on the regular squid that, aside from its sparkly appearance, doesn’t do much except look pretty. They bimble along without a care in the world, well, that is until you accidentally hit them like the monster you are.

Minecraft glow squids are worth tracking, as these jazzy cephalopods drop glow ink sacs. These sacs have only a handful of cosmetic uses, mostly illuminating text on signs. Nevertheless, the effect does make the text stand out, particularly useful if some hooligan mob somehow dislodges your torches. In any case, there’s nothing wrong with a sparkly sign.

So if you really want to get your hands on the glow ink sacs, we’ll tell you where to go to find the Minecraft glow squids, how you can use the glow ink sacs on your signs, and how to change them back to normal if you tire of their glowing effect.

Glow squid locations

You can find glow squid underwater in dark places or in Minecraft Lush Caves. They don’t attack you but will dim whenever you attack them. Killing glow squid nets you one to three glow ink sacs.

Glow ink sac recipes

You can use the glow ink sac to make glow item frames by mixing one glow ink sac with an item frame in the crafting menu. Additionally, you can use glow ink sacs on signs to make any text brighter or regular ink sacs on the signs with glowing text to revert the glowing text to normal.

And, surprisingly, that’s everything to know about Minecraft glow squid. It’s a simple yet cute creature of the deep. Sure they’re nowhere near as fascinating as the axolotls or as charming as the goats, but at the very least, they’re not going to be as terrifying as the Warden coming in the Minecraft 1.19 The Wild update, alongside everything else!

level 1

just press L2 or LT on the sign while holding the glow ink sack

level 2

I figured it out! For me I was using the § symbol to get color on a sign and then try and out glow squid sac on but you literally HAVE to use a dye on a sign first and then glow squid ink

level 1

Put a glow squid ink sac and an item frame into a crafting table. Oops. You said signs. That requires clicking the sign with the sac

level 2

Is there an equivalent for Touch devices? I can’t figure how.

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to make a colored sign in Minecraft Bedrock Edition (PE, Win10, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, you can make a sign that has different colors of text. Let's explore how to make a colored sign.

Required Materials to make a Colored Sign

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to make a colored sign:

TIP: This method of setting the text color for a sign only works in Bedrock Edition.

Steps to Make a Colored Sign in Bedrock Edition

1. Place a Sign

In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, you can only set the color of the text in the sign when you initially place the sign. So start by placing a sign. In this tutorial, we will place a Spruce sign.

Once you place the sign, Minecraft will allow you to enter the text for the sign. You will see a sign (like below) appear with a blinking cursor:

2. Importance of the § symbol

Before we enter the text for our sign, we need to take a moment to explain the importance of the § symbol.

Color and formatting is added to signs using the § symbol in Bedrock Edition (PE, Win10, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch). There are 16 different colors available and 4 formatting options that you can choose from.

The following is the list of color codes and format codes that you can use for signs in Bedrock Edition:

3. Enter the text for the Sign

Here are a few examples of how to enter colored signs in Bedrock Edition:

Example #1

Using §b changes the color of the text to Aqua:

§bColored

Example #2

Using multiple color codes changes the color for each letter:

§cC§6o§el§ao§br

Example #3

Using format codes such as §l can set the text to bold:

§bhi §lhi

Note: Once you enter a certain length for the sign text, the sign editor will not display the end of your sign text. So it is difficult to see the end of the sign text in Example #2.

Congratulations, you just learned how to make a colored sign in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
